We heard news a little while back that the next Battlefleet Gothic game, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 (it's a game in the Warhammer 40k universe, if you didn't know), would feature a full co-op campaign, but not much else beyond that. Now, with the title a week away from release, we're finally getting all the info and a little glimpse of what to expect from the three playable campaigns.
If you thought you were all done with Hope County, think again. Ubisoft announced Far Cry: New Dawn last week, which is being setup as a kind of mini-sequel to Far Cry 5. I'll go ahead say here that if you care at all about the ending/story of Far Cry 5, I'd avoid going any further in this news post... or reading the background section of the game in our database.
We really tried our hardest to get a good solid co-op stream together for you fine folks with Chroma Shift, a very co-op game through and through. Unfortunately Jason's laptop had other ideas about his ability to play video games. Still, we managed to pull through with the help of Locke problem solving from Canada.
The newest LEGO movie has officially received a game to go along with it and, if there was any confusion which Lego Movie )(and game) came first, the latter’s formal title is The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, ironing out any and all misunderstandings. The newly announced title is set for a 2019 release across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch and PC, although the exact release date remains unknown. However, as The LEGO Movie 2 film is set for a February release, it is safe to say that expecting the video game to release near that time is very likely.
The first of several co-op DLCs arrived last week for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Dubbed "The Forge," everyone's favorite freebooter of sepulchers will face a number of fiery challenges as she explores a new challenge tomb and attempts to uncover the secrets of Kuwaq Yaku. The Forge can be played solo or with a friend online.
We've known for quite some time that Shadow of the Tomb Raider would have some sort of online cooperative mode, but now we're just starting to uncover the details of what it entails.
Last Monday's co-op stream featured a pair of indie games on display. Of those, Ninjin: Clash of Carrots stood out for it's wild art style, unique gameplay, and overabundance of vegetables.
The folks working on Jagged Alliance: Rage made a bold move yesterday. With the game originally due out today, September 27th, THQ Nordic announced a tactical retreat, moving the release day back to December 6th.
Door Kickers: Action Squad left Early Access a couple weeks ago, so Mike and Jason hopped back in to bust down some doors and save some innocents. They mostly succeed.
Door Kickers: Action Squad originally forced its way onto PC back in November of 2017. Since then, it's puttered around Steam's Early Access program, presumably waiting for someone to figure out the best CQC puns to use in its release announcement. The good news here is that Action Squad got a full release just a couple days ago. The bad news is that the release trailer has eschewed all those sweet, juicy puns in favor of actual information on the game's playable characters.
Turn based strategy game, Jagged Alliance: Rage! will be hitting PCs by the end of this month. Announced for September 27th, the mercenaries focused franchise will get its first new game in years with proper cooperative support. Console versions on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will launch on November 6th.
With all the craziness surrounding this fall's game releases, it's easy to forget that Hitman 2, the sequel to one of the most unexpectedly good games of 2016, will also be available. More importantly, it'll have its very own co-op mode!
Terrible Posture Games' MOTHERGUNSHIP finally got its co-op update last week, so Mike and Jason strapped themselves into some mech suits, got their allen wrenches and spare IKEA parts, and set about making some space guns. While there are a few issues we have with it, MOTHERGUNSHIP is a really fun FPS that harkens back to the days of DOOM and Quake.
